QuickQWERTY 1.2.3

By Susam Pal on 03 May 2026

QuickQWERTY 1.2.3 is now available. QuickQWERTY is a web-based touch typing tutor for QWERTY keyboards that runs directly in the browser.

This release includes two small bug fixes. In the previous release, QuickQWERTY source code management moved from GitHub to Codeberg. During that update, the licence link in the footer was updated incorrectly. The broken licence link has now been fixed.

Further, there was a minor bug that caused a redundant dialog box to appear while switching between 6-7 split and 5-6 split. Units 16 to 20 contain two links labeled '6-7 split' and '5-6 split' which allow you to select how you want to split the number keys between left and right hands. Clicking either of those links brings up a dialog that explains what the two splits mean and prompts you to confirm in order to make the switch. Say, the '6-7 split' was already the chosen split. Clicking the '6-7 split' label triggered the dialog box unnecessarily. A dialog was unnecessary in that case since if you were already on the '6-7 split', clicking the '6-7 split' label resulted in no switch. This unnecessary dialog has now been eliminated.
